The Traveling Hero Won't Let the Innkeeper's Son Escape

As I indulged in the hot tub for a while listening to the sound of droplets falling from the ceiling into the hot water, Karen eventually shrugged.

"... Actually, some of the girls the kidnappers took are eagle sisters."

"Huh!? Your sister!? That's, and I'm worried…………………."

Ruth floats a blatant upset at the words of shock from Karen, who had made it normal even after coming to the village, without knowing what to say. I wouldn't have to worry if my own sister was taken by a kidnapper and I thought she was still somewhere. If Ruth hears that Marianne, who thinks, for example, like her sister, has been caught, she can't stay.

But the look on Karen's face when she looked at Ruth like that was brighter than she thought.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tell you because I knew you'd have trouble telling me this... but you're out of your mouth. But don't worry about it, because she's impotent. Even the men in the village have few enemies."

Karen said her sister's figure is a beautiful girl, but the contents seem to have a man face losing ambition. Even in the arms test tournament by the young people of the village, they seem to have won the victory by knocking down the men in line. By the way, Yuan won't be able to compete after winning three consecutive years, and Karen seems unwilling to compete in those martial arts.

"But there's such a strong kid being kidnapped, right?

"That's right - that's the big question. Because, Gracie - if the eagle's sister is serious, there's no way that such a thief can catch her. That's what's tearing them apart as soon as you touch them."

"So what do you think happened………?

"Maybe Lumia, Grace's favorite childhood tamer has been kidnapped together, so I'm sure there's something going on with her and she can't help it."

Karen said that that childhood tamer named Lumia is such a big deal and the type who doesn't like every fight, so maybe Grace has no choice but to follow the thief with her as a shield.

"Grace has no mercy for a man, but he's such a gentleman to a girl, so I'm sure he couldn't get away with just pulling Lumia's hand for the other kids he caught."

"Is that so… I hope to no one, nothing"

"Well, I guess it's not about Lumia's life... but if it weren't, he'd rarely stab and kill a thief on the spot."

"... rarely stabbed..."

"She's in love with Lumia, so she can't help it."

Karen exhaled as she stroked her cheek. And he strokes his arm with a lukewarm look on his face and smiles, "I knew a bath would be good," he said. But Ruth was a little concerned about the last word.

(Are you in love?

Grace meant Karen's sister, and it was all the women in the village who were kidnapped. Automatically, the childhood tame Lumia also becomes a girl. Given that, Karen's rhetoric feels a little weird. Normally, I wouldn't describe it as' in love 'with a friendly childhood.

Looking to see if Ruth should listen to the story now, or if she should dare go in and ask, Karen looked at me with a mean smile when she noticed it.

"Have you noticed?

"Are you 'in love'?

"Hehe, yes, Grace is in love with Lumia. My sister, you like girls, don't you? I disagree with eagles."

"…… I see."

The two seem to be brothers and sisters: a brother who has a woman in his heart and likes men and a masculine sister who likes childhood girls. Sounds pretty complicated. I wondered if I could tell others that lightly, but Karen said Grace seemed the type who wasn't willing to hide it either. They also normally speak publicly in the village.

"Totally, you're in trouble, you two like same-sex stuff. He used to say he should have been born the other way around... because he's so cute even if it's family blindness, but he's gonna make a scratch on his face, and it's good to get his hair done. Come on, he's gonna attack a bunch of bugs, and he's gonna catch Gezizi fine, and he's gonna have a fight with a boy, and he's gonna win... it's really a waste."

And I hear Karen's been told the same thing by Grace. My brothers and sisters don't seem to get along badly, but it seems like they've had fights every once in a while because of it.

"... but on the contrary, it's useless to say anything if you're reborn. The eagle is already born like this, so it can't change dramatically, and then you'd be happier going in the polishing direction."

Ruth didn't know what to say to Karen, who squeaks like she gave up. Because I thought that if the problem was too difficult and you put in a bad word, it would make you uncomfortable. There's obviously too much experience in Ruth.

But with a refreshing face, Karen exhaled heavily.

"Yeah. That sounded refreshing. Thanks for asking."

"Huh!? Oh, no, it's nothing... I don't think it's very helpful."

Ruth just didn't get the word out, but Karen seems to be glad about that. He seems like someone who originally tries to solve it himself, so maybe he didn't have to say anything extra.

"I was just moaning about myself. Yuan is not the type to say" you brothers and sisters are a pain in the ass "and listen to people his age... not everyone accepts you so well, it's hard to talk about this."

"Even in the village of Micana, really?

"I don't know if it would be the case if there were a lot of people like Wang Du, but I guess not in a small village. Isn't that what Hashi Village is all about? Are there same-sex couples or something?

"... you're only here"

There are no same-sex couples or lovers in Hashi village either, and Ruth has never seen anyone say they like same-sex. It seems to accept as a country for once, but it still doesn't turn into a minority, I guess.

That's why Ruth is worried too. I was wondering what should happen with Alec.

"Ruth, you are………………."

"Yes?"

"Could it be a village boy - for example, being confessed to childhood?

"-"

Ruth unexpectedly stood up from the hot tub and looked down at Karen, who had poked him in the core with a direct ball. But Zabar slips water off his body all the time, and when it gets a little cold, he realizes that his actions were as unsuccessful as he thought. But it was already too late to see Karen's expression.

"Oh, you hit that face. A eagle is amazing!

"Uh, no! Oh, what........................ hey, why!?

"I didn't reveal my disgust when the eagle said I liked your brother, and I wasn't greatly surprised, so I thought it would be strange to be in our smaller village. You just said 'even in the village of Micana'.“ But ”means you know what's going on in Hashi Village - you had a reason to know, didn't you?

"Ooh......"

Not knowing whether to admire Karen's observation or lament her thoughtless remarks, Ruth went back into the water for a moment. There Karen approaches as she nibbles. It said on his face that he had found a totally enjoyable topic.

"So, so. Who is it? Could it really be childhood taming?

"Huh!?... No, ah."

"That upset is a star."

"Wow..."

Ruth could only groan at the situation of being easily exposed even if he had said nothing. I don't know how to keep my poker face because I have zero romance experience at any rate and have never talked about it with anyone else. The fact that they found out just makes my face red.

Ruth lifted her hips feeling bad about being here.

"... oh, I'm about to"

"Hey, what kind of kid is that childhood tame? Cool? Pretty?"

"Ah, of."

"Can I see the eagle tomorrow? I'd love to see you. Oh, don't worry. 'Cause I'm not saying anything weird."

"No, Alec's not in the village."

"Oh, Alec, you say that."

"Ugh."

"Oh, hey, don't run away."

Ruth escaped from the hot tub, having even spoken of Alec's name and feeling completely swallowed up by Karen's pace. I'm not supposed to be responding properly as it is, but it's going to make me confess everything.

To see Karen's crowd, I know that asking about Alec and Ruth won't make a fool of him or make fun of him. Rather, I have an understanding of the same sex, so I felt that if I consulted it properly, it would likely be a thread for me to solve Ruth's problems.

(But I still can't do it a little bit!

But Ruth herself, not knowing how to speak of her relationship with Alec, was so calmly unfamiliar that embarrassment led her to consult others about her relationship. I can only assume that the tsuke that always left me to think and escape has been around in places like this.

I hurry through the washroom with the towel in my hand, ignoring Karen, who is still talking, and trying to open the stripper door - but the door opened before that.

"Karen, there's your annoying voice outside the bathroom."

"- Ah, Yu, Mr. Yuan!

It was Yuan with his clothes on who came in. I guess I came to complain when I noticed Karen's voice rang outside the bathroom to see what was going on.

From Ruth's point of view, he was a savior who could change Karen's story. Unexpectedly helpful makes me smile in full.

- But when Yuan at the heart looked at Ruth in front of him, he solidified with his eyes wide open.

"Hey Yuan! You're not coming in the eagle bath! Take care of yourself!

Karen yelled from inside the hot tub at Yuan who came in. Yet still, Yuan has not responded at all and has solidified himself with his gaze on Ruth. The look was full of surprises and even the thought seemed to have stopped at too much shock.

"Mr. Yuan?

"Are you listening to the Yuans for a second?!? You can't complain about getting killed without understanding your maiden's bath!

"Um, Mr. Yuan? What's the matter, sir?

Something's wrong. With that in mind, Ruth comes up and calls again, but Yuan sifts his body with Vikri, then moves his gaze from face to foot as he looks around Ruth's chest and...

"Ugh..."

He erupted bright red blood from his high nose, which is also a symbol of a man full of wild flavors.

"Ugh, wow! Yu, Mr. Yuan!?

"Well, what are you doing, you!

It literally erupted, so much so that the nosebleed momentum flew towards Ruth. I accidentally avoided it, Ruth, but Yuan knelt down with the momentum of his nosebleed as it was, putting his hand on the floor despite being wet.

The sight of blood that would have come out of Yuan's nose on the floor spreading into the washroom is, in a sense, a fear.

"Mr. Yuan, are you not feeling well!? Are you ok!?

"What's wrong with you, all of a sudden!? You're healthy enough to eat rotten foods, and you're nosebleeds!?

Just in case, Karen was worried and rushed to wrap a towel around her waist. Lie on your knees on Yuan's side with Ruth.

"Could it not have been a good bath? Or do you have a meal problem? Are you still hurt?

"Mr. Ruth, it's okay. There's no way Yuan can handle that. Look, Yuan. Stand up for a second, you'll get wet in here, so I'll go to the stripper."

Karen, who insists on a mysterious okay, lent Yuan his shoulder and slowly got him up. Ruth also stands up and touches his arm to help Yuan, who still bleeds with his face down. But soon Yuan, who kept his mouth shut, raised his face.

"Ru, ru su"

"Yes?

Ruth manages to reply, even though her eyes run a little bloody and she is surprised by Yuan, who has a strangely rough nose, because she is not feeling well enough to bleed out her nose. But when Yuan looked down from Ruth's face to his toe again without saying anything afterwards, he groaned slightly, then - for some reason - bowed his body just a little.

"Ugghhh!

"Ubu."

"!? - Hey, hey! Or, Mr. Cullen?

And now Karen suddenly screamed for some reason.

Cullen shouted with an impatient look, letting go of her shoulder, which supported Yuan, beating her body to the floor. Yuan couldn't seem to resist that flowing motion. And eventually, Karen stomped me on my back trying to bend me to the letter of my body, leaving me unable to get up off the floor.

(Hey, what...?

I was also surprised by Yuan, who suddenly had a nosebleed, but also stunned by Karen, who beat the sick man to the floor and stepped on top, and Ruth was completely delayed in his reaction. I can't understand the situation once and for all anymore.

"Oh, um... Karen, I don't know what happened, but stepping on Mr. Yuan, who's not feeling well..."

"Mr. Ruth."

While confused, when Ruth called out, Karen had turned to a gentle smile as if she had been immersed in a hot tub. To put it another way, you look like an enlightened Virgin Mary.

But for some reason, Ruth was afraid of the look on his face. Because it looked like a strangely imposing look that didn't make me say anything extra.

"I'm sorry, but this unrestrained - because I need to talk to Yuan, an idiot whose lower body is more eloquent than his mouth. Ruth, can I ask you to come up first?

"Huh? Lower body???

As Ruth tried to look around Yuan's lower body, she tried to block it and Karen put her hand on her face and turned around. She smiles and can't shake off the hand that hits her cheek. Compared to Yuan, he's modest, but Karen must also be handsome. 'You have long eyelashes and very neat details when you stare at him at him at close range' - he whined in his mind unexpectedly that it had nothing to do with that.

"Nothing. Don't worry about that now, okay?

"Ha, ha. But..."

"I have a story between my best friends. Can I just let you two do this? Of course I'll let you fool around cleaning the washroom."

"………… I understand."

"Good boy."

All right, all right. I can stroke your head to compliment your child.

Important discussions between my best friends, if they say so, Ruth was also hard to come out strong. There are a lot of things that bother me, but Ruth also guessed in the atmosphere that Karen was smiling and saying, 'Please, I want you to shut up and listen to my favor,' so I seem to have to obey him for a moment. I'd rather leave it to my best friend Karen, who's been with me for a long time, than be forced to take care of Yuan here.

When I went out to the stripper, I changed my clothes and went outside, worrying about the two of them. In the meantime, there was no sound from the bathroom, and Ruth was creepy, but I found out that Karen was asking about this one, so I had to go back to my room.
